SA2 AssaultLight

PentagonLight™ recently announced the launch of an advanced integrated weapon-mount light system. The SA2 Stealth AssaultLight eliminates the need of any corded remote switches for a direct and positive operation of the light via the tail-cap switch. This is enabled by its seamless integration with an offset mount. The adjustability of the mount provides sturdiness and ensures firm attachment for direct tail-switch activation by the thumb in the offset position. Stealth AssaultLight resolves some of the most common drawbacks of remote corded pressure pad switches. AssaultLight eliminates any possibility of cord entanglement when tactical operators navigate through building. The AssaultLight is activated by directly pressing its tail-switch, which is soft and raised, making it easy to press with positive tactile feedback. The AssaultLight is pre-configured with a 70-lumen xenon gas incandescent lamp as the light source for maximum distance and brightness. A higher lumen output system is available for long distance, as well as an LED version for close quarter combat. The exterior of the AssaultLight is coated in our antireflective stealth finish that exceeds military type III super hard anodized specifications. The SA2 Assault Light is an excellent rifle-mounted tactical light for both SWAT operators and members of military special operations.

EarPro™, recently acquired by SureFire, introduces a new passive hearing protection system, the EP-3 Sonic Defenders. These earplugs are designed to help prevent hearing damage from noise above 85 dB, while facilitating conversation by permitting passage of lower-level sounds. A proprietary design incorporating the patented Hocks Noise Breaker™ filter, enables Sonic Defenders to convert energy from harmful sound levels into insignificant amounts of harmless heat energy. In addition to being more comfortable than common foam plugs, Sonic Defenders don't muffle ambient sounds or compromise directional hearing, nor do they require custom fitting. The low profile design of the Sonic Defenders makes them comfortable even when wearing a mask, helmet or hat, or while utilizing telephone, headphone, or supplemental hearing muffs.

Sonic Defenders are made from a medical-grade, hypoallergenic polymer that is soft and highly flexible, and easily cleaned with mild soap and water. The earpieces are ergonomically shaped to fit inside the outer shell of the ear and follow the natural angle of the ear canal. The unique design of the EP3 provides improved earpiece retention that keeps them securely in place during routine physical activity. Sonic Defenders are available in medium and large sizes that fit more than 95% of all users. Suggested retail price - $19.95 per pair.
